Oak Creek Homes of Fort Worth, Texas was the only factory homebuilder recognized among forty-six homebuilders that received the Outstanding Achievement Award for participation in the 2003 Oncor ENERGY STAR Homes program. Each of the Award recipients registered with the EPA and constructed at least 50 ENERGY STAR homes in 2003. Collectively, winners built 11,505 ENERGY STAR qualified homes. 

ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. It identifies new homes and over 35 types of products that are energy efficient without sacrificing the features, quality, and personal comfort that today’s consumers expect. ENERGY STAR qualified homes are significantly more energy efficient than homes built to standard code. Because of lower energy usage, ENERGY STAR Homes save homeowners money because they cost less to heat and cool. In addition, they help reduce air pollution – a particular concern in the Southwestern U.S. Nationwide almost 20 percent of air pollution results from energy used in homes. Just one ENERGY STAR home can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 4,500 pounds per year.

“While other factory homebuilders offer Energy Star as an option, we are totally committed to providing our homeowners the best energy efficiency in every home. That’s why Energy Star is standard on all of the HUD Code manufactured homes built in our Fort Worth facility,” said Charley Boyer, Director of Sales and Marketing for Oak Creek. “Because of the quality built into every Oak Creek home, achieving the Energy Star certification required no design changes and only a few minor changes in materials such as our new Low – E window.”    

Oak Creek is a leading manufacturer of both HUD Code and IHB modular homes in the southwest. For additional information visit www.oakcreekhomes.com or call 888-321-9898 for the nearest Oak Creek home center. For information about Energy Star visit www.energystar.gov or call 888-STAR-YES.
